Additionally, practice can restrict which dentists can patients book appointments with. The system is designed to be flexible but can restrict different options based on practice requirements.

Each existing patient is assigned a unique activation code. Patients can request their activation codes from the practice via email or phone (required only once at the Online Booking registration stage). This process avoids creation of duplicate patients in the practice management system.

No, AppointMentor does not allow double booking. If a patient is booking the same slot online while the receptionist is booking on phone, then whoever presses the booking button first will get the slot. In case the receptionist books the appointment, the patient booking online is informed that the selected slot is no longer available and requested to search for other available slots.
